ATOMIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 670,494, dated March 26, 14901. Application led October 29, 1900. Serial No. 34,863. (No model.)

To ffl/Z .wh/0m it muy concern,.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. GUIBOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Topeka, in the county of Shawnee and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Atomizers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a minutely-adjustable atomizer contracted in its construction to such an extent that it may be readily held in a pocket with or without a case. It belongs to the duplex order of atomjzers, wherein the atomizing principle is applied to the nozzle of the said atomizer.

Figure l is a sectional View of my invention, and Fig. 2 is a detail of the threaded inner nozzle and nut thereon.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in bot-h views.

The history of the art makes plain that atoinizers handling different substances are not minutely adjustable thereto and that an atomizer intended for an oily substance will throw too large atoms if applied to a watery substance, and vice Versa.

In Fig. l is a small vial A, with a stopper D and its extension D', which constitute theV end of the projecting portion of the stopper D", is the cap E.

Angularly extending from the stopper D is the threaded nipple F, so constructed as to hold a rubber tube, as shown at F. Over this nipple is forced the upper end of the elastic air-compressor G. This elastic air-compressor, preferably made of rubber, has at its lower end the usual air-inlet valve G.

The

compression of this elastic bulb forces the air into the bottle in which the fluid to be atomized has been placed, passing up and around the stem B, through the grooved places in the thread B", (see detail Fig; 2,) and out at the perforation E of the cap E in the usual manner of said atomizers.

The adj ustability of the atomizer, which enables it to atomize uids of various densities, is produced by the outer end of the threaded inner conduit B being forced, by means of the nut C, closer to or farther awayfrom the perforation E` of the cap E. After said adjustment the cap E is placed down over the shoulder D of the extension D of the stopper D, the elongated shoulder E" of the cap E' pressing down on the nut C, irmlyholding the said parts in close relation and preventing any air from passing out, except through the perforation E" of the cap E.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An improvement in atomizers of the order shown, consisting of an inner tube B, so held Within an outer tube as to leave an air-space between the two, the upper end of the inner tube being threaded,and grooved transversely through the threading to permit the passage of air therethrough, said threading taking on the nut C, which is detached from, but lits closely to, the upper end of the outer tube, and

the perforated cap E, iittin g frictionally tight onto the upper end of said outer tube, and the elongated shoulder E" fitting closely against said uut C, substantially as shown and for the purposes speciied.l

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

CHARLES H. GUIBOR.
